For the money

Tonight's adventure: the art of crochet. I do not have the nimblity (new word) required to knit, so I crochet. However, my style is rather archaic. I've been to many how-to sites and watched plenty of videos. The best site for me has been http://www.lionbrand.com/ .  The demonstrator uses her hook like I do; using her thumb to bring the yarn over the hook.

I single crochet and the results aren't perfect. I make winter scarves and favor chunky, multicolored yarns. This hides flaws well. I think they look "artsy". One of a kind.

Tomorrow, I have a slice of free time to clean out "my half" of our second bedroom. If I can eek out enough space, I'll have a good sized crafting nook. Oh, the trouble I'll get into!
